Ok so I read this because I am very much in love with the Throne of Glass series. Same author, whose writing makes me happy. Just her style of writing. It is full and bursting with colour and texture. I love it.
This book, was good, and it turned great in the end. While I prefer a faster plot unfold than was done in the beginning and middle of this one, the fiery end made up for it and ensured I will be reading the second book in this series, come May.
So good book, especially if you love faeries and mystery and heroines who do stuff, rather then let stuff happen to them, but definitely a lazy leisurely read.
